30 Days 30 Paintings, Day 29 -- A Spent Sunflower

I switched gears again today. Decided not to paint small. Painted looser, quicker. Worried less about mistakes.

I used only paint that was already on my palette, what was left of colors from a variety of projects.

It's amazing how much differently this painting went than yesterday's. It's far from perfect and there are things I'd do differently, but the whole feel was different and I like the outcome a lot better. I could have kept tinkering with it, but part of the point of this month-long challenge is letting go. And so here it is.

My art, photographs and words represent many hours of creativity and hard work and they mean a lot to me. Please do not use them without my permission. If you're sharing on Pinterest or another, similar site, please give credit and link back to my site.
